1. Chairman’s Report

By Ir Thomas LAU Ming-yu

As the Chairman of this Session of 2019 - 2020, I, on behalf on the HKIE Civil Division, would like to express my wholehearted and most sincere appreciation for your kind support to us, especially during this difficult time of Hong Kong. At the start of our term in mid 2019, we adopted the theme of “Our Commitment for the Future” to focus on activities targeted at young engineers, engineering students in universities as well as the secondary school students. We planned school talks, site visits, mock interviews, mentoring schemes, sport day and overseas delegation, etc. Additional resources were assigned in organizing technical talks in this session with the intention to echo the theme set out by our President - “Knowledge Transfer”. The intention was not only to transfer our engineering knowledge to the future engineers, but also to bring positive messages to our next generation regarding their bright future ahead. Unfortunately, many of our planned activities were affected, deferred or even cancelled, as the city was confronted with a very difficult political situation in the first and second quarters of this session. Though we still managed to organize some technical talks, site visits and mock interviews, one of our key events, the Annual Dinner, was called off in the afternoon of the original scheduled date, 4 October 2019, to ensure the personal safety of all guests and members. With the commendable determination and great efforts of the organizing committee, we managed to hold another key event in the second quarter successfully; to celebrate the 15-anniversary of CEDD, an international conference jointly organized by both CEDD and HKIE was held on 2 December 2019. The conference covered different aspects related to land reclamation, including latest technology of reclamation, economic and ecological considerations for reclamation projects, and more. This full-day event attracted over 370 young members as well as experienced engineers to join, and brought scholars and professionals together to learn, share and network with industry experts. The third quarter of this session was probably one of the most challenging periods not only for the Division, but also for everyone in Hong Kong. The outbreak of COVID-19 in late January 2020 has led to the complete suspension all of our planned activities - technical talks, site visits, mentoring schemes, oversea and mainland delegations, among others. Moreover, our Annual Dinner, originally rescheduled to 21 February 2020, was called off a second time to protect all of our guests and members. Once again, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your understanding and support on this issue. Stepping into the fourth quarter of this session, our committee members are still working very hard to plan and organize different events. Technical talks, site visits and mainland delegation will be resumed once the situation is recovered. I hope that I can greet you all in our coming Annual Dinner which is further rescheduled on 21 May 2020. Last but not the least, I must thank all the committee members, organizing committee members, helpers and volunteers for their dedicated efforts and contributions to our Division.

2. Report on Civil Division Annual Dinner 2019

By Ir Paul Chan

It is with much regret that this event has been postponed a few times due to a series of unforeseen

circumstances, initially the public events that had caused safety concerns which were followed by the

major health issues by the novel coronavirus pandemic. I MUST thank you all for your patience and

unfailing supports to this traditional major annual activity that has been very successful in bringing us,

fellow engineers, together for knowledge and experience sharing as well as relationship building not to

mention the inspiring speeches by our Guest of Honour who shed lights to our industry. Now with our

fingers cross and hopes that these unwanted events will dampened down, the Annual Dinner is planned

to be held on 21 May 2020. Let us come together and reflect once again to bring new hopes for this

piece of land where we all call home and recover the lustre of this Oriental Pearl.

Let us also thank all those who have not only support financially to this event but also act as helpers

and OC members without whom this event could be organised.

Chairman of the OC- Paul Chan

4. Report on Technical Meetings

By Ir Connie CHAN and Ir Peter WONG

The number of technical meetings held in this session had dropped significantly due to social

unrest in Hong Kong followed by the outbreak of COVID-19. There were only 3 sessions held in

August and September 2019, and we were hoping to resume these technical meetings as soon as

possible, as these meetings provided a platform for members to share the latest development in the

planning, design, construction and operation of civil engineering works. The sessions held in this

session covers different aspects of Civil Engineering, ranging from tunnel works, marine traffic

impact assessment and contractual claim aspects. A summary of events is listed in Table A.

6. Report on Mainland Visits, Belt and Road and Big Bay Area Activities

By Ir Johnson LEE and Ir Simon NG

The Mainland visits organized by the Civil Division aim to provide a platform for members

for exploring the technological advancement in civil engineering and the fast-growing

infrastructure development in Mainland China. In 2019-2010 session, there were two visits

organized with very encouraging responses and active participation from our members. A

brief summary of the events is as follows:

Visit to Pre-insulated Pipe Manufacturing Factory in Taishan (台山)

The technical visit was held on 3 August 2019. Pre-insulated pipes (PIP) are used for heating,

ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) in building services. The factory in Taishan has an

annual production capacity of approximately 20,000m length of PIP. The pipes manufactured

have been extensively being used in Kai Tak District Cooling System (DCS) in Hong Kong.

Through the visit, members appreciated the manufacturing process of the PIP pipes and various

quality assurance procedures, including hydrostatic pressure test, sand blasting and quality

control checking on exterior steel surface, wet film and dry film checking, and insulation density

test.

Report on the Belt and Road Initiative

By Ir Johnson LEE and Ir Simon NG; Event Coordinators: Alex LO and Daniel LO

What is the role that engineers can play, in particular the younger ones, to seize the opportunities

brought about by the “Belt and Road”? And how can engineers strive for new development

momentum while cooperating with China’s development and explore new opportunities in

regional business advancement? To equip our young civil engineers to take up the opportunities

and challenges, the Civil Division will organize delegations to overseas countries and Mainland

China every year.

Due to the successful organization for a delegation to Sri Lanka in 2018, the Civil Division

organized a delegation for engineers from Sri Lanka on 5 - 8 September 2019. In the event, the

Civil Division was pleased to receive thirty engineers from the Institution of Engineers Sri Lanka

(IESL), whom were given the opportunities to visit some of the major engineering development

and infrastructure projects in Hong Kong, including the West Kowloon High Speed Railway

Terminus, Kai Tak Development Project, Tung Chung New Town Extension Reclamation Project,

Electrical and Mechanical Services Department Gallery and Zero Carbon Building.

Delegates also attended various exchange activities with professional engineers and institutional

representatives in Hong Kong and attended presentations on Hong Kong’s engineering services at

various occasions, including the government officials and major public organizations. In the

welcoming dinner hosted by the Civil Division, the Delegation was arranged to meet the Division

Chairman and other committee members and advisors of the 2018 Sri Lanka Delegation, who

shared about how Chinese enterprises and Hong Kong construction companies ran their

businesses in Hong Kong and Sri Lanka. Their first-hand experience and knowledge were

extremely useful for those delegates who planned to start their careers in Hong Kong and other

countries along the Belt and Road corridors.

The Civil Division would like to express sincere gratitude to the arrangement made by various

partner government departments and public companies as they had contributed very much

towards the successful organization of the event. The visits not only enabled the Sri Lanka

delegates to know more about the infrastructure development in Hong Kong, but also gave them

an opportunity to appreciate the multiculturalism of Hong Kong.

8. Report on Volunteer Service Activities

By Ir Iman LAI & Ir Gloria TANG

To raise the visibility of the Institution and our Division, the Civil Division has continued to

participate in various voluntary service activities caring for the community.

We formed a team to take part in Sowers Action Challenging 12 Hours Charity Marathon held on

27 October 2019, to raise money for poor children in the Mainland hoping for education

improvement.

On 19 January 2020, with the support of the Suicide Prevention Services Limited (SPS), we

visited the solitary elderly with emotional distress and sent them Chinese New Year (CNY) gifts

with warm greetings. After attending a briefing, we were divided into small groups to carry out

caring home visit in Kowloon and chatted with the elderly. Throughout this event, we had

better understanding on the living and mental conditions of the elderly, facilitating the SPS to

follow up the special needs of the elderly identified.

We would carry out repair works and house cleaning works for the elderly in public estates, and

visit the Hong Chi Association Centre for the mentally disabled, with a view to fostering the

spirit of harmony in our community.

Since 1998, “Exchange Camp for Mainland and Hong Kong Young Civil Engineers (内地與香港

青年土木工程師交流營 )” has become a regular delegation event for both China Civil

Engineering Society (CCES) and Civil Division. The event is a highlight activity organised by

the Division every session and does provide an important platform for both Mainland and Hong

Kong young engineers to appreciate the latest practices adopted in the civil engineering industry.

Delegates are also arranged to conduct presentations and exchange sessions with mainland

construction companies and universities to explain on the differences between the Mainland and

Hong Kong practices in terms of project management, cost management and technical issues at

the exchange events with Mainland counterparts.

The Exchange Camp 2020 has originally been scheduled to hold from 9 to 14 April 2020 to visit

the latest infrastructure development projects in Beijing city and Hebei Province, including the

stadiums of the 2022 Winter Olympics, highway and railway works, and the state-level’s new

development area in Xiong’an New Area (雄安新區).

However, in the light of the recent outbreak of coronavirus infections, we have decided to

postpone the event to a later date. Civil Division will keep members posted of the latest

arrangement.
